This is going to be my first Hackintosh build, and I am pretty excited! Only one of the WD 2TB drives will be for the build, the others are for my NAS Drive, I just threw them all together for budgeting purposes. I already have the monitor, Motherboard, and RAM, everything else I am about to buy, but figured I would double check here before I pulled the trigger!


This machine will primarily be used for my work (audio editing and mixing, running Pro Tools), as well as some video editing, some light graphic design work, and hopefully a bit of gaming. I have the two SSD's so that I can dualboot (Mac for ProTools/work stuff, PC for everything else). Let me know if anyone foresees any issues, thanks!
